| For the last 7 months or so, I'm pretty sure investers have been crying over their desks (I'm just being sarcastic). The poor economy has made it hard for everyone, and this is connected to a high market fee. I don't blame noobs and other people for selling limiteds at low prices because no one is willing to buy and this is what happens. Before the high market fee, there was a fair 10% market fee, because of this, the ROBLOX economy boomed and people didn't have a high risk of losing, and also trade currency was heaven, it wasn't uncommon to see a spread of 400-500, but now, your lucky to get a spread of 75-100. Limiteds are becoming gambling dens, you could easily lose. It was bad enough to lose our bonuses, but this! It is ridiculous. This is connected to pure GREED! They said they would have a small market fee increase, but the increase was 300%!!! Now, I'm having so much trouble making profit, and it is just sad that they do this, an economy turned to shreds and we can thank ROBLOX for all they did! |

The only reason some items have skyrocketed is due to the new you can own multiple items feature, I think that's the only reason this happened. |

you want the 30% lowered because you want to get more profits
that's called greedy i enjoy the 30% market fee, you have to actually bet on making money, it's not so much as "buy a limited and resell for double after"
besides, it was 25% before. |

@MarioKartAddict
Well that's what an investor wants, profit, do you think an investor would enjoy losing profit, I don't think so. And I know a lot about real world market for my age, there is no market fee, in fact, there is INTEREST on there stocks! So don't say to me its greed when I want to earn profit. |

@MarioKartAddict It's not greedy. Most people enjoyed the 10% market fee, and it doesn't make people greedy for complaining that it was taken away.
You're just following a biased opinion of OBC members being greedy |

@super
There has to be a market free for ROBLOX to gain profit. ROBUX is bought from an infinite source. If this infinite source were to constantly pump out cash, the economy would be destroyed, the value of the Robuck would be less than that of a ticket. This is why the market fee is there, to take some of the ROBUX back. Whether we like it or not, it needs to be in place. |

Yes, I do understand that there can be a crash if there was no fee, but from 10%-30% in one day is a lot. Ok if this was happening over maybe 6-7 years, I would be ok with it, but with in a short period, I don't think it was necessary to raise it that much |

It was necessary. Personally I've seen a rise in rich players.
ROBLOX must have noticed this much sooner, because they wouldn't have put it in place had they not needed to. ROBLOX isn't the money stealing company people make it out to be, it's a very good company.

@all
For all people who call me greedy, I'll simply ignore it, I don't want to quarrel with people just so we can start a rage war. This post is meant for people who agree, and disagree, and not with people who just want to start a rage war. Yes I expect arguing but don't start a rage war. Thank you! |

Yes I think it was necessary to raise it, but I still think it shouldn't have raised that much. I'm do a lot of investing so you may not know as much, but I'm not a person who knows everything so I can say you don't know as much. But this post is for everyone's free opinion about the spiking in the market fee. |
